well sorry i haven't been around but congrats to all and i should be here more now!!

i had Nathan on 11th April, he was 5days overdue. went to hospital on the 10th to be told contractions werent regular and i could go home if i wanted - so i did. got home and felt really sore so went to bed early - didn't sleep at all cos of bad back due to Nathan being back to back (not slept for 4 days properly just dosing for half hour here and there), oh was concerned so rang labour ward and said we were going back - advised to have a bath then set off. had the bath took 20mins to get out cos of contractions, then i went to go to loo and Nathan started to crown so go onto floor and his daddy rang the hospital to be talked thru delivering him. he arrived at 3:47am on the bathroom floor - couldn't move to anywhere else! midwife and paramedics arrive 15mins later.

i can't believe i did it with no pain relief or midwife!! home birth for def next time.

Bloody eck lol On the bathroom floor? Jesus! lol Well done babe, there is no way i coulda done it without pain relief, i was in labour for 36 hours with Jake! Congrats babe, i've been trying to track ya down for ages lol

i dont know if any of u have seen my thread but i had baby andrew on the 26th april at 7.27am. he weighed a whopping 10lb 7.5oz he was 15 days overdue and i was in established labour for the whole time which was 5 hours 37mins. i did the whole labour with no pain relief, had problems towards the end of the labour his heart rate was dropping so i had to have an episotamy and they had to use the vetouse on andrew. im very lucky i didnt have a c-section.

oh jazz 36hrs i'd have been wanting pain relief by then!! i felt so brave cos i'm normally such a wimp, but next time i will plan homebirth and no hospital stay, but it'll prob end up long and complicated knowing my luck! how is your little one doing?? Nathan is doing great weighed 9lb 5.5oz at baby clinic last tuesday can't wait til tomorrow to get his length done aswell. are you breast or bottle feeding?? if bottle how much, how often - think i've got a greedy one!!

everyone else ....... hope you are all doing really well, i'm gonna start a new thread for us april mummies as this ones getting too long for me!!! hope we can all use it.

Yeah me too!

How you all doing? Jake has his first set of vacinations next wednesday - not looking forward to them but its all for the best i suppose! We'll start taking Jake swimming in 2 weeks, get him used to water and that! He's smiling all the time now, he's been smiling from about 3-4 weeks propally! He weighs 11lb 11oz now, well he did last week he probably weighs a stone now! lol
He's sleeping longer now during the night which is good, he went to bed at about 10:30 last night and woke up for a feed at 4:30am and then went back to sleep till 7am! For Jake that is excellent considering he sleeps most of the day! lol

How's are the ickle april babies getting on?

I'm still around mainly in spirit though as i don't seem to have much time to myself since Jared was born. He had his injections last Monday and was as good as gold - only screamed for about a minute when the needle went in - even the health visitor commented on how good he was He nows weighs 12lbs 1 oz and is on 6oz per feed which can be anything from every 3 to 4 hours but he is generally a very good baby and smiles or laughs at most people. As for nights he goes to sleep anytime between 9 and 10 and wakes between 6 and 7 so at least i get some sleep.

Take care all April mummies and babies who are still about and i hope to be popping in more because i miss not being around (not saying that Emma's Diary is addictive or anything ) Hope all other April babies are doing well love Sian & Jared xxxx
